I am what you would call somewhat of a shower head aficionado as over the years I have tried many different shower heads and while some were OK, there were only a handful which I would rate as "must-haves". I, to this day, have several in my collection that I will just not part with.
Imagine my surprise this past Summer while vacationing in Old Orchard Beach Maine to happen across one of the greatest showers I have had the pleasure to take.
Now, if any of you know OOB, it''s a small beach Town in Maine and while there are several nice motels popping up over recent years,most haven''t had a facelift/update for several decades and this includes the showers as well.
After a full day in the hot sun & saltwater taking a nice shower is not usually on the agenda as most hotels have the water saving shower heads and combined with the lack of pressure makes for a horrible shower...can you say pins & needles?!
There were several times over the years where I would skip said shower as my sunburn was really bad and I would rather smell a little "ripe" then subject myself to the torture chamber of a hotel shower. Besides, I was on vacation and could always blame the scent on the Ocean "Can you guys smell that horrible seaweed smell?" :)
But, stepping into the shower this time was a unusually pleasant experience. Full, robust water cascading out the shower head unlike anything I have experienced, including my own Home. All of this from a cheap looking plastic shower head.
I got out of the shower and the first thing I said to my Wife was "this shower head is coming Home with me!" Yeah, it''s that good.
But with my Children hearing every word out of Dad''s mouth and not wanting to be known as a thief (unlike the Hotel...$175.00 a night for 75 yards from the Beach is highway robbery), I unscrewed the shower head to look for any type of markings and came across Siroflex as well as made in Italy.
After a quick online search I found the shower head on several sites and ordered one right there from the ''bay, $8.79 shipped. I had spent more for a beer and burger that afternoon. Great deal indeed.
To the shower head...
It comes shipped in a plastic bag from the manufacture and while it is shown it in the blue and white packaging (only slightly less gaudy),several I have ordered from three different vendors for friends and family were of the plastic bag variety.
It is very unassuming, it has the looks that would appeal to the Kmart/Walmart crowd but don''t let looks fool ya''.
As mentioned earlier it is plastic not brass or chrome and does indeed look on the cheap side but notwithstanding this it gives a great shower with full, even flow and great force. Not too wide and not too narrow. I do not like any of the rainfall shower heads or the massaging crisscross pattern heads I have tried.
Give me a good ole'' fashioned drenching shower any day.
The downside (there''s always a downside huh?) is the water usage...like the past reviewers buckspeed & kirk have stated the water usage is high, like almost five gallons-a-minute on my measured 80 psi shower. So in this way the "Get the best shower while saving water" quote is a little misleading.
But if you think of it this way, you will get cleaner quicker and be out of the shower sooner than with a typical water saving shower head than that quote is indeed true.
I recently ordered from a vendor that sends a washer with the head to limit water usage some and this cuts the flow to about three gallons-a-minute. I would say set up this way it gives about 75% of the shower of a washer-less Siroflex but there is some "pulsating" issues that I am not found of. I am still experimenting with this combo and might drill out the washer a bit to see if I can get the best of both worlds. But if not I will not feel too bad about the high water usage as my Home is loaded with water saving devices from the toilets to the faucets to the dishwasher and besides, my neighbor wastes more water on his lawn with his automatic sprinkler system even on rainy days then I waste in a 15 minute shower.
If you want to look into this vendor think "neat".
In closing I will say this..forget the looks of it, close your eyes and enjoy a great refreshing shower for under $10 bucks. I know I am.

I have long hair which is very thick. This is the only showerhead I''ve found that does a nice job of rinsing shampoo out of my hair. A siroflex showerhead is in both of my bathrooms. Whenever we have guests, they rave about the great shower! And the funny thing is -it''s the cheapest showerhead on the market. Whenever I travel, I carry one in my suitcase. Hotel showers are notorious for poor water pressure. Now, I can have a nice shower -no matter where I am.
Read Best Reviews of Siroflex Showerhead From Italy Here
First of all, I am not someone who writes many reviews. Like many of us here at Amazon, we only take the time to review products when they are either exceptionally good or incredibly bad. Over the last 30 years I have owned many showerheads from all the major brands. But having low hot water pressure, most did not live up to expectations. Having read the reviews I decided to spend the $10 and give the little (yes surprisingly small) Siroflex a try. Boy am I glad I did. Truly the BEST showerhead at ANY price. It doesn''t look like much. It looks like cheap plastic. And it is sold in a plastic bag. But don''t let the appearance turn you away. It is very well designed. No tools or pipe tape needed. Just screw it on and enjoy. Hand tight with no tape, and it does not leak at the connection. Not a drop. And it is so effective, that I actually have to turn DOWN the hot water because it was just too intense. I''ve already ordered more as gifts. Leave it to the Italians. They make some of the worlds finest sports cars, so it makes sense that they could make the best showerheads. Try it. You''ll love it.

This shower head feels great to use. However, I ran out of hot water the first time I used it, so I decided to measure it''s flow. Multiple measurements came out to 5 gallons per minute. This is a lot of water. For comparison, most current Delta shower heads you would find at local stores are between 2 and 3 gallons per minute. I''ve rated this 1 star because of the misleading title of the item. You are most definitely NOT saving water with this shower head.
For anyone who remembers what it was like to take a shower pre-1992, then this shower head is for you. In 1992 the government decided that you can''t have a shower head that puts out more than 2.5 gallon per minute. Fortunately for those of us who enjoy a strong shower, the Italian government has no such restrictions. The strong water flow feels absolutely tremendous! I highly recommend this product with no reservations at all.
Disclaimer: After using this shower head for 2 months, I have seen approximately a 25% increase in my water bill (~$45 to ~$55). The other thing to be cognizant of is your hot water usage. If you have a smaller hot water tank, the increase flow can quickly deplete your tank, leaving you in a cold shower.
